Most my dreams are fuzzy and like "looking back" to a vague memory when I wake up. What about you all?
I find it varies from dissociative imaginary to like a strong memory. rarely are the non lucid dreams highly detailed, but the non lucid mind does not notice. For instance even in lucid dreams it is often presented more like a movie where the image focuses in on something and nothing to the sides is rendered beyond a blur. In general i think my non-lucids are poorly rendered and not terribly life like.
